Synopsis: A book of wizardry and swordplay, dark magic and light - About Danica who loves her doomed land and the goddess Ashtar who taught her loyalty and war. But not how to love a warrior who is also a man. About Bellasteros whose desire for one woman teaches him both patience and passion, and the sorceries of battle... About a world as wild with wonder as our own... Sabazel "...is the first treatment of amazon society that can be considered a major success. It has the first honest and convincing millieu with wholly believable characters. It's my idea of genuine heroic vision". Jessica Amanda Salmonson - author of The Tomoe Gozen Saga. (from the back cover of the Ace Books first edition)
